If you haven’t updated your Nvidia GPU in a while, now’s a good time. The company’s latest driver update addresses a number of long-standing bugs while also delivering significant performance gains.
Update now and run the game faster
Most Nvidia GPU driver updates bring bug fixes or feature additions like DLSS4 support in new and existing games. However, the 576.02 update reportedly brings a 5-10% performance improvement, as shown by increased FPS across games.
A thread on the Nvidia subreddit has screenshots showing a 7% improvement in Cyberpunk 2077 with the game's RT Overdrive preset, which enables both Ray and Path Tracing, compared to the previous driver version. The 5070 Ti used in this case achieved 80 FPS without framerate injection and DLSS set to balanced.
Benchmarks also reported significant performance gains on the 50-series cards. Another 5070 Ti user, CurryGorYT, saw a 7% improvement in their GPU in 3DMark Steel Nomad, with a final score of 6,467 and an average frame rate of 64.68 FPS. Tech619 reported their 3DMark Steel Nomad score increased from 8,832 to 9,215 with an average of 92.16 FPS after the update on an MSI RTX 5080 Vanguard.
The biggest performance increase was on CellTastic's RTX 5070 Ti - 8% with the latest driver, with the score increasing from 6504 to 7006 on the Steel Nomad. Interestingly, an RTX 5090 user reported no performance difference on the same thread.
The improvements aren't limited to RTX 50-series cards. There are claims of 3-5% performance gains on 40-series GPUs. Reddit user AerithGainsborough7 shared a thread showing improvements of 3, 4.1, and 3.6% in Steel Nomad, Blackmyth Wukong, and Cyberpunk 2077 on the RTX 4070 Ti, respectively.
Keep in mind that the performance gains mentioned above are on desktop versions of the GPU. While these numbers may not seem like much, mature drivers like Nvidia’s often offer much smaller, if any, performance improvements. Considering the incredibly thin performance margins between Nvidia’s new GPU releases, these numbers are pretty solid.
Dozens of stability issues have been resolved.
As mentioned before, driver updates are mostly focused on bug fixes and feature additions, and Nvidia has implemented a lot of bug fixes in this update. There are also stability improvements for various games.
Nvidia has fixed dithering or banding in some games on 50-series GPUs. Game stability issues when playing with DLSS and G-Sync enabled together have also been resolved. Minor stutters that were annoying when forcing VSync via the Nvidia Control Panel have also disappeared.
Games like inZOI, Fortnite, Monster Hunter Wilds, Overwatch 2, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, The First Berserker: Khazan, The Last of Us Part I, and Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves, among many others, have also received fixes for various issues.
There are too many fixes in this update to list them all, but if you're having issues with your GPU, there's a good chance that applying this graphics driver update will fix the problem.
NVIDIA's next flagship graphics card, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, will come in 16GB and 8GB versions and is expected to launch in mid-April.
Surely many people still haven't forgotten the "explosion" scandal on the Nvidia RTX 40-series graphics card line.
In January this year, Nvidia launched the latest generation of RTX 50 series graphics cards, and introduced the fourth version of Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology to users.

Cerebras Systems has just officially announced Cerebras Inference, which is considered the world's fastest AI inference solution.
Even though the product has only been released for a short time, Nvidia RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 graphics card owners are complaining about a series of problems.
The concept of artificial intelligence - AI is becoming more and more popular, which means that this superior technology is gradually being effectively deployed in many fields as well as in all aspects of modern life.
In June 2024, Nvidia announced the full open source GPU code for its flagship physics simulation engine, PhysX SDK, including previously unreleased GPU simulation cores. The move is expected to spur innovation in GPU-accelerated computing.
It seems like AMD is trying to raise market expectations for the upcoming MI325X processor.
Meta is developing its first in-house AI training processor. The company has begun pilot testing a small batch of the new AI training chip and will order more if the testing phase produces positive results, Reuters reported.
At this year's CES 2025 event, AMD refrained from revealing long-awaited details about its new flagship Radeon RX 9070 XT GPU, which is built on the RDNA 4 architecture.
Nvidia has just announced the release of an open-source large language model (LLM) that is said to perform on par with leading proprietary models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google.
General Motors (GM) and Nvidia have expanded their partnership to deploy artificial intelligence (AI)-based technology in next-generation vehicles.
